Confirmation of Anthropic’s BOOK BURNING for their AI: The Great Forgetting of the Amnesia Generation

In the quiet warehouses and shipping docks of 2024, Anthropic did not merely train an AI.

It staged a quiet erasure of human knowledge.

While the public was still dazzled by Claude’s fluent paragraphs and polished marketing emails, the company’s engineers and logistics teams were busy executing Project Panama—an internal campaign whose own documents announced the ambition to “destructively scan all the books in the world.”

The method was industrial and irreversible: buy the physical volume SOMETIMES THE LAST COPY, slice its SPINE with a hydraulic cutter, feed the pages through high-speed scanners, then pulp what remained.

Millions of books: scientific research, novels, rare technical treatises, obscure monographs, volumes that had already survived wars, fires, and decades of handling—were reduced to data tokens and then to wet mulch or burned.

They literally burn the evidence of this crime against humanity.

The company itself preferred the darkness. “We don’t want it to be known that we are working on this,” the planning memos warned.

A federal judge later blessed the slaughter. Because Anthropic had purchased the copies and then destroyed them, the court held, the act was “transformative” fair use. Ownership plus obliteration equaled permission.

The ruling handed every subsequent AI lab a legal license to treat the printed past as disposable feedstock.

That license is now being exercised at industrial scale. In 2026, companies like ISBNdb openly market pre-2022 books as the last pure reservoir of human language—text uncontaminated by the synthetic sludge that large language models themselves have already poured into the open web.

Orders arrive for tens or hundreds of thousands of titles at a time. Non-disclosure agreements are standard.

The preferred language is “digital preservation.”

The actual outcome is the same mechanical process Anthropic refined: spine cut, pages scanned, original shredded.

Rare and near-unique copies are disappearing into the same pipeline. Booksellers across continents report sudden, strange bulk orders for specialized, low-demand titles that no ordinary collector would ever buy in volume.

Once the pages are gone, they are gone forever.

A website can be re-uploaded. A bestseller can be reprinted.

The last three surviving copies of an eighteenth-century botanical text cannot.

This is not progress. It is the Great Forgetting.

An entire generation of machines is being taught to speak by consuming and then discarding the physical record of human thought.

The companies that profit from the resulting fluency call the process necessary, legal, and even enlightened.

They speak of curated knowledge and domain-specific expertise while the spines crack and the paper is carted away.

Anthropic did not invent the hunger for data, but it demonstrated openly in private documents and then under court seal how far a well-funded laboratory was willing to go to satisfy it, and how readily the law would ratify the destruction.

Just to gain a temporary AI benchmark advantage.

The amnesia is already here.

Future models will generate elegant sentences to beat Al sorts of tests about history, science, and literature.

They will do so on the ashes of the books that once contained those sentences.

The generation that built these systems will leave its children fluent machines and emptier shelves.

That is the real product of Project Panama and its successors: not intelligence, but a carefully engineered cultural void, papered over with synthetic prose and non-disclosure agreements.

We are left to forget to remember. We are The Amnesia Generation with our brains being put into a meat grinder and fed back to us.

The "Middle Class" was a 50-year fluke designed to prevent a communist revolution during the Cold War. Now that the threat is gone, the elites are systematically dismantling it. You aren't "falling behind"; you’re being pushed back into the peasantry.

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

The problem with Jeff Bezos' ideology is that it's based on a false premise. The idea that "six thousand years ago someone invented the plow" is based on a faulty belief that ancient humans functioned as individuals. They did not.

Ancient humans were collectivist. The likelihood that one individual invented anything is slim to none.

This is the myth of the genius.

Archeological evidence demonstrates that for hundreds of thousands of years, early humans congregated around communal gathering places, like the fire, and engaged in problem solving and passing on of shared learning down through generations.

Additionally, the plow (and tools like it) were developed by humans in Mesopotamia, Europe, Egypt, East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa as well as other places - not in one place by one person. This is known as parallel development.

Believing that the plow was invented by one genius is like believing language was invented by one person. It is a silly myth and represents the projection of current moral standards onto past events.

This is called 'presentism' and it is both an uncritical and ignorant way to view history.

Social learning was the main driver of human evolution. Collectivism is how we both survived and progressed as a species.

The myth of the genius is an example of uncritical analysis and a flawed lens used to justify the grotesque hoarding of wealth and obscene inequality that is currently tearing at the social fabric our species.

It needs to be thrown on the trash heap of history.

Primero, reivindicar el Rif exige una capacidad de coerción que España no tiene. Marruecos lleva dos décadas rearmándose con material estadounidense e israelí de primera línea, hace unos días mató con un dron al previsible sucesor de Gali en el Polisario, en plena visita del enviado de la ONU, y ha tenido pinchado, supuestamente, hasta el teléfono del presidente del Gobierno español, quiero decir, que Marruecos no es Mauritania. Además duplica la base demográfica española movilizable, tiene una quinta columna enorme en territorio español, y cuenta con cobertura tanto de Washington como de Tel Aviv. Cualquier proyección territorial española quedaría abortada en el minuto uno.

Luego, algo que yo creía que era obvio pero que no lo es tanto por las conversaciones que he tenido: España vive atrapada en una paradoja estratégica. Mientras aloja las bases de Rota y Morón, su política exterior se subordina a la agenda norteamericana; pero si las cerrara, perdería la única garantía disuasoria que hoy protege Ceuta, Melilla y Canarias de Marruecos. Rota y Morón son el precio de que Ceuta no se llame Sabta, Melilla no se llame Mliliya y Canarias no se llamen Juzur al-Kanari.

Si la guerra de Irán y Ormuz han dejado una lección, es la importancia de los chokepoints: el Estrecho lo vigilan Gibraltar (UK) y Rota (EEUU), y en la orilla sur hay un Marruecos alineado con ambos. España ahí no tiene mando en plaza, y cualquier intento por recuperar presencia es un movimiento geopolítico de primer orden, ahora mismo pura ficción. Pero el análisis de fondo del amigo @RGarlicville es correcto: Rabat reivindica Ceuta, Melilla y Canarias, y España está obligada a mover ficha si no quiere perder territorio. Cuando tenga un gobierno dispuesto a asumir el coste, claro.

Entonces, ¿qué hacemos? ¿Nada? Siempre se puede hacer algo: hay que ponerle cada vez más difícil a quien amenaza tu integridad territorial que ejecute sus planes, podemos, por ejemplo, tumbar el tratado de libre comercio Marruecos-UE. Podemos hacer valer las resoluciones de la ONU sobre el Sáhara. Podemos multiplicar el gasto en defensa y convertirnos en una potencia militar real, en todos los ámbitos. Y mientras eso ocurre, podemos "mostrar simpatía activa" hacia el hecho nacional rifeño y apoyo decidido al saharaui (la misma moneda que Rabat usa contra España, devuelta); y profundizar el eje con Argel. Equilibrar, un poco, mientras dejamos de ser un Estado fofo y pusilánime al servicio de Rabat.

BREAKING: Trump is pissed that oil companies don’t want to take over Venezuela’s oil industry because of the cost of modernization, security concerns, political instability, and current low price of oil which would take decades to turn a profit, and now he looks like an idiot.

[Cesar Lopez @Alcesarlosuyo]

ÚLTIMA HORA: Donald Trump lee en voz alta, de manera idiota, una nota secreta apenas segundos después de que Marco Rubio se la hubiera pasado, lo que provocó un intercambio de mensajes increíblemente incómodo.

Don Demencia ha perdido el control de su boca...

El momento viral se produjo durante una reunión en la Casa Blanca con ejecutivos de compañías petroleras como Exxon, Chevron, Shell y otras, que se llevó a cabo a raíz de la invasión ilegal de Venezuela por parte de Trump y su anuncio de que Estados Unidos se apoderará de las reservas de petróleo de ese país.

"Marco me acaba de dar una nota...", dijo Trump, recogiendo el mensaje para leerlo con los ojos entrecerrados. "Vuelve a Chevron. Quieren hablar de algo". Adelante, vuelvo a Chevron. Gracias, Marco. Adelante."

"¿Había alguna pregunta, señor presidente?", preguntó confundido el representante de Chevron.

"Sí, adelante... Marco, ¿qué estaba...?", preguntó Trump, con voz aturdida, sosteniendo la nota. Rubio se removió y se dio la vuelta, incómodo, señalando al secretario de Energía, Chris Wright.

"Mark... Mark, ¿podrías informarnos sobre las operaciones en el terreno y, con las aprobaciones correspondientes, qué podrías lograr en los próximos doce a dieciocho meses?", dijo Wright. "Cuéntanos un poco sobre el terreno."

El ejecutivo de Chevron pronunció entonces lo que parecía ser un discurso preparado sobre las operaciones del gigante petrolero en Venezuela. Claramente, Wright y, por extensión, Rubio habían sido instruidos por sus titiriteros petroleros para atraer la atención de Trump hacia Chevron.

El extraño intercambio pone de relieve la creciente senilidad de Trump, así como el hecho de que esta administración está completamente comprada y financiada por el lobby de los combustibles fósiles. Los ejecutivos petroleros dicen "¡A saltar!" y estos funcionarios preguntan "¿Hasta dónde?".

Cabe recordar que Trump se reunió con ejecutivos petroleros en Mar-a-Lago en 2024 y los instó a donar mil millones de dólares a su campaña a cambio de políticas favorables una vez que fuera presidente. Como lo demuestra su ataque injustificado y abiertamente imperialista contra Venezuela, ahora está cumpliendo esas promesas corruptas.

Michael Parenti, Dirty Truths, 1996:

"Often the term 'conspiracy' is applied dismissively whenever one suggests that people who occupy positions of political and economic power are consciously dedicated to advancing their own elite interests...Those who suffer from conspiracy phobia are fond of saying: 'Do you actually think there's a group of people sitting around in a room plotting things?' For some reason, that image is assumed to be so patently absurd as to invite only disclaimers. But where else would people of power get together – on park benches or carousels? Indeed, they meet in rooms: corporate boardrooms, Pentagon command rooms, at the Bohemian Grove, in the choice dining rooms at the best restaurants, resorts, hotels, and estates, in the many conference rooms at the White House, the NSA, the CIA, or wherever. And yes, they consciously plot – though they call it 'planning' and 'strategizing' – and they do so in great secrecy, often resisting all efforts at public disclosure. No one confabulates and plans more than political and corporate elites and their hired specialists."

[Alex Veremeyenko @alex_verem]

This Spectator piece reads like gossip until you realize it’s actually a warning.

A senior English barrister takes a real appeal he spent a day and a half writing, feeds it to an AI model, and gets back something better in 30 seconds. It matched the standard of the very best barristers, and it did it instantly, for pennies.

That’s the moment the illusion breaks.

Law has always sold itself as irreplaceable because it’s complex, nuanced, and human. But most of the value in modern legal work isn’t wisdom. It’s pattern recognition, structure, precedent matching, argument assembly, and risk framing. That’s exactly the territory AI eats first.

The scary part isn’t that AI can draft contracts or scan case law. That’s already obvious. The scary part is that once the output quality crosses a threshold, the pricing logic collapses. Clients don’t care how many years it took you to become a barrister if the document they receive is objectively worse than something generated in seconds.

So the profession reaches for comfort stories.

“AI is just a tool.”
“There will always be a human in the loop.”
“Judges and clients want a human face.”

Those are emotional arguments, not economic ones. And economics always wins.

The barrister in the piece understands something most of his peers don’t want to admit. Law isn’t protected by status or tradition. It’s protected by cost and friction. Once those disappear, so does the moat.

The first to go are process lawyers. Then drafting specialists. Then advisory roles with no client relationship. Eventually people start asking why they’re paying six figures for a human to read out arguments an AI already wrote better.

What makes this explosive isn’t just unemployment. It’s who lawyers are in society. They sit at the top of institutions. They write rules. They shape policy. They’re used to being indispensable. Replacing them doesn’t just disrupt jobs. It destabilizes power.

That’s why the resistance will be fierce. There will be calls to ban AI. To regulate it out of courtrooms. To slow it down. But you can’t regulate away a cost advantage that large.

The most honest line in the whole piece is the advice to his niece. Don’t take on decades of debt for a career whose core value has already been automated. Not in twenty years. Now.

This isn’t anti law. It’s anti denial.

AI isn’t coming for lawyers because it hates them. It’s coming because much of what they do turned out to be legible, compressible, and cheap.

And once that happens, respect doesn’t save you. Only reality does.

Nuno Loureiro was assassinated yesterday

He was a professor + the director of MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center

> 47 years old
> Studied nuclear fusion (= energy source of the Sun + stars) for 10 years at MIT
> His award-winning work focused on creating a virtually limitless, clean energy source on Earth - one that doesn’t produce carbon or radioactive waste (usual biproduct of fission reactors)
> His research was essentially a threat to companies in the energy sector (fossil fuels, wind, solar, etc)
> Nuno was vital to the development of fusion nuclear power plants, without him the path ahead is less clear + his death will set back the entire field

Nuno is not the first MIT fusion scientist to be brutally murdered, in 2004 Eugene Mallove was also shot in his home

I hope this opens eyes – there is an agenda at play
